Since his mother is still a US citizen, yes. Archie has dual citizenship.Someone wrote in another thread that Archie was also a US citizen...! Is that true?!
Seems to differ from country to country. I know that there is no automatism in my country in gaining a foreign citizenship only because one of your parents is a foreigner when you are not born in his/ her homeland territory - unless your parents apply for it at the authorities.

Automation isn’t based on the law of the country he was born in. But the country he wasn’t born in. Based on US law, he was born a US citizen even though he wasn’t born on US soil since he was born to a mother who is US citizen and have lived in US for a certain number of years in her life.
I didn´t question this! I just doubt that this practise (becoming automatically a citizen of a certain country even though you have not been born on its soil only because one of your parents is a citizen of this particular country) is being done everywhere.
I know that you will have to apply for dual citizenship in Germany if you want it. If you then get it will depend on various factors.
For US citizenship for Archie, they (H&M) would have to go to the US Embassy and register his birth and pay the processing fee. But they don't have to apply for citizenship for his since he qualifies through his mother.
Or Archie could claim his US citizenship after he is 18.
Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was a dual American citizen at birth based on his mother's fulfillment of the conditions established by American law.
Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship by a Child Born Abroad
Registration would be used to prove his citizenship to the American government, for obtaining the benefits of citizenship.
If he is not registered at birth at the US embassy or does not claim citizenship when he turns 18, will Archie still be subject to US taxes and other obligations imposed on US citizens ?
Or Archie could renounce his US citizenship at 18 much like Prince Albert of Monaco did. Either way, I think that Archie reaching 18 and being able to make the decision for himself will happen before he inherits The Duke of Sussex title.
Perhaps this is the reasoning behind Archie being a "master" for now. Even if Charles becomes king and then Archie is "Prince Archie of Sussex", he remains a commoner. He won't be a peer until he inherits his father's dukedom or is created a peer by his grandfather or uncle.

According to an American website for legal questions, yes:
Overseas American Citizens: When You Need to File a Tax Return or Pay U.S. Taxes | Nolo.comIt bears noting that U.S. tax laws apply to all American citizens, including those who may have never taken affirmative steps to document their citizenship by way of procuring a U.S. passport. Indeed, people who may not know that they are U.S. citizens—a scenario occurring with some frequency in the context of children born abroad to U.S. citizens who acquire citizenship by derivation – and who have never been to the United States are subject to United States tax law.From the legal point of view, Archie will not become a peer until he inherits or is granted a peerage in his own right, no matter if he is called Master, Lord, Earl of Dumbarton, or Prince beforehand.

And just on the off chance he wished to run for President!
AFAIK, he will not be allowed to do it; a candidate has to be born in the US.

Senator McCain was born on an American military base overseas..that is considered American soil.
